I would pick and we would sing
To the rhythm on that front porch swing
The moonlight was the spotlight that we shared
I found new notes on this old guitar
She believed I could be a star
She told me that she wanted to be fair
And she said, I dont only hold you down
Boy, youre glory bound
We cant share a world of different dreams
So I chased mine and she found hers too
Someone else made hers come true
Now Im a star, but every time I sing
My heart goes drifting down a dusty dixie road
Taking my mind, back in time
L.A. lights burn like hell once you know
You left heaven waitin down the dixie road
Every night Im in a different place
And Im searching every strangers face
Trying to find the girl thats just not there
Shes back there in Montgomery, and Im clear across the country
But whenever Im alone I go back there
My heart goes drifting down a dusty dixie road
Taking my mind, back in time
L.A. lights burn like hell once you know
You left heaven waitin down the dixie road
My heart goes drifting down a dusty dixie road drifting down, dixie road
Taking my mind, back in time takes my mind, back in time
L.A. lights burn like hell once you know once you know
You left heaven waitin down the dixie road
My heart goes drifting down a dusty dixie road
Taking my mind, back in time
L.A. lights burn like hell once you know
You left heaven waitin down the dixie road
You left heaven waitin down the dixie road
